Guantánamo Kid: The True Story of Mohammed El-Gharani #[nn]

"Guantánamo Kid" is a powerful, firsthand account of teenage activist Mohammed El-Gharani’s arrest in Pakistan and his years-long detention at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, told with stark honesty and emotional depth. Written by Edward Gauvin and illustrated with poignant precision by Alexandre Franc—whose expressive artwork brings the story to life on every page—this graphic memoir stands as a vital, unflinching record of one young man’s ordeal. The striking cover, also by Franc, captures the weight of the story in a single, evocative image.
